Other projects
Well, I've been working with my church on a set of classes that we got a grant to offer. These classes are for ex-offenders who are entering the workplace. There are several different community partners to assist these people in getting back on their feet so that they can be productive members of the community. I'm over the teachers and I also teach one of the classes.
I teach the class on Attitudes in the Workplace. I wasn't the one who put together the curriculum so I'm a little nervous as to how it will be recieved. I put together the Self-esteem curriculum and would have loved to teach it, but one of our teachers wasn't able to teach so I had to take over her class. We'll see how that goes. It's a two week class and I can't wait until it's over...only because I want to see the outcome. I want these people to get something out of the lessons and I want them to say good things about what we are doing for them. We've spent hours creating this curriculum and meeting to make sure that it happens, I just hope they appreciate it.
I did want to take a class this semester at UIS, but with the after school program it's gonna be difficult. I still have time to register as nondegree students, but I need to get persmission from the teacher to sign up for the class I want to take. I don't know if the instructor will give me permission. Also, I haven't tallied up how much it would cost me. Also, the class starts at 6, so I will need to leave school by 5 to get there. Man, I really want to take the class, but I don't know if it's a good time. I do know that this summer I want to take as many as possible. I"m going to apply for the program this spring.
There is another project that I want to volunteer for. The Dove, Inc. got a new grant for Project Read. I really want to do that program. I need to contact them to see when I can take the class.
